Luukkonen was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Stars.
Luukkonen will start for the third time in the Sabres' first four games of the season. Across his first two outings, he's gone 1-1-0 with a 4.03 GAA and .784 save percentage, but he's coming off a 4-3 win over the Blackhawks on Saturday and will attempt to maintain his momentum Thursday.
